FEMME

Series of meruistic female figures inspired from lives of others, stories and dreams.

Meru often uses female figure as a symbol. It fascinates her as an artist because of ever present dilemma of how to break down barriers attached to female gender and nudity because woman is still "valued" mostly by her look. Often telling a personal story Meru's female figures operate in the space between a subject and non-subject. Meru's work is not just about the body: it is about corporeal absence and presence.

Meru's Femme figures refuse to situate themselves in nowadays dogmas and are more higher that just sexual allure believing that woman as a beauty to be contemplated, but not possessed.

Töö tegelebki küsimusega, kuidas sellest nõiaringist välja pääseda. See on aus enesereflektsioon, kaunis portree eneseteadlikust naisest, kes tunnistab oma nõrkusi.“ /“After an unhealthy relationship I realised how we often and unknowingly do something if it is useful for us. This painting deals with the complexity of getting out of that vicious cycle. It is an honest self-reflection, a beautiful portrait of a self-conscious woman who owns up to her weaknesses.”
